Darren Aronofsky's "Black Swan"





Aren't these promotional posters for Darren Aronofsky's new film, Black Swan, phenomenal? Someone in the 20th Century Fox marketing department deserves a raise. I love the film noir feel of the ads, and I'm not exactly sure how they pertain to the movie specifically, but eh, who cares. It looks amazing-- and how many modern day movie posters can you say the same for these days?

Black Swan stars Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, and Vincent Cassel, and is a thriller which centers around a star ballerina and a rival who threatens to steal her spotlight. It was directed by Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler, Requiem for a Dream, Pi), so you know it'll be dark, twisted, and fantastic. The film has also generated some glowing reviews, especially for Natalie Portman's role, and has also been gathering some considerable Oscar momentum. It'll be interesting to see if Portman or Black Swan gets a nomination, considering horror movies very rarely, if ever, receive Academy recognition.

Black Swan opens December 3, 2010.
